The transfer window: Luis Campos ready to sell his services to Real Madrid?

Gérard Lopez ready to buy a new club

He has not lost his taste for football.

Gérard Lopez, forced to leave Lille last December due to the very complicated economic situation of the Northern club, could buy a new team, reports

L'Équipe

this Friday. The businessman, who already owns Boavista and Mouscron, would target three clubs: Southampton, whose purchase price would be between 130 and 140 M €, the Genoa that he could acquire for an estimated sum of 120 M € , and Valence which could be taken back at around 160 M €. The Hispanic-Luxembourgish would be supported by "a lending fund coming either from the United States or from the Persian Gulf", specifies the sports daily. The takeover of one of its three entities must be effective "no later than the beginning of June." The former owner of LOSC again wishes to rely on Scoutly, the recruitment unit coordinated by Luis Campos. Thus, the Portuguese who allowed Lille to be in the title race this season could again collaborate with Gérard Lopez. But maybe not full time because another challenge iswould wait in Spain.

Luis Campos soon to be a Real Madrid consultant?

In parallel with his collaboration with Gérard Lopez, the sports leader, without a function within a club since his departure from LOSC last December, could indeed find a position in a training.

The team

advance this Friday that the former technical director of AS Monaco would be "in contact" with Real Madrid.

He would still maintain excellent relations with Madrid president Florentino Pérez and could come to the Merengue to distill his valuable advice as a consultant.

Luis Campos knows the White House well since he was a recruiter there between 2012 and 2013.

Sergio Agüero ready for efforts to join FC Barcelona

Sergio Agüero could well put his suitcases in Catalonia this summer. According to information revealed by

Mundo Deportivo

, the striker who will leave Manchester City free at the end of the season would approach FC Barcelona. The center-forward is said to have two more proposals, according to Fabrizio Romano, reporter for

Sky Sport

and

The Guardian

.

But "Kun" would prioritize the Blaugrana, where a contract until June 2023 awaits him.

He could make financial efforts to find his friend and compatriot Lionel Messi, who would ask for sports guarantees from his leaders to extend.

At almost 33 years old and despite a complicated season, Sergio Agüero would be a good recruit for FCB, who did not really replace Luis Suarez, who left for Atlético Madrid last September.

Aguero has been approached by 3 clubs.

Answer: 'Sergio priority is to join Barcelona'.

#FCB

Negotiation ongoing.

Potential contract until 2023.

He's reducing his salary only for Barça [less than € 10m].

Final decisions about Depay and Aguero only in the next weeks.

Pep Guardiola wants a center-forward

While he regularly aligns a team without a professional center forward, Pep Guardiola would have made the arrival of a scorer his priority for the summer transfer window according to

The Times

.

Manchester City executives are said to be ready to accede to his demand by investing in the next transfer market.

Several names would have been checked: those of Erling Haaland (Borussia Dortmund), Harry Kane (Tottenham), Lautaro Martinez (Inter Milan) and André Silva (Frankfurt).

Either, essentially very popular players.

The task does not look easy but the Citizens, champions of England and finalist of the Champions League, have strong arguments to convince.

Not to mention a great financial power to pay for a transfer.

Common interest between OM and Matteo Guendouzi

In search of reinforcements on all lines, Olympique de Marseille would have registered the name of Matteo Guendouzi among the tracks to be favored in the midfield, as recently revealed by

L'Équipe

. On loan from Arsenal to Hertha Berlin, the international hopefuls, whose contract expires in June 2022, is not in Mikel Arteta's plans and should find a new base this summer.

Provence

reports that the 22-year-old is not "insensitive" to the interest shown in him by Marseille training. He would like to play in a European Cup next season - "an essential criterion in his eyes" - and could well consider joining Marseille, if the club succeed in securing a qualification for the Europa League. According to the regional daily, Marseille leaders would prefer to try to enlist him in the form of a loan. But not sure that Arsenal only accepts a loan, without a compulsory purchase option for example, one year from the end of its lease. Note that the arrival of the former Lorient is not "necessarily" conditioned on the departure of Boubacar Kamara (under contract until June 2022), main market value of OM and which is announced at the start.Matteo Guendouzi should have time to think about his future since a fractured metatarsus will prevent him from taking part in the Euro Espoirs.
